Tamiya VX-01 Pro Rally Chassis Kit

This is a PRO-spec version of the R/C 4WD XV-01 chassis. “XV” stands for “Crossover Vehicle”. As the XV-01 name implies this vehicle will serve as a common all-terrain platform which can be used for rally cars, on-road cars, and pick-up trucks. It is equipped with covers to protect the drivetrain and R/C radio gear from dirt and debris and its suspension provides a ground clearance of over 10mm. The motor is mounted at the front and power is delivered via a drive belt to the front/rear gearboxes, which are equipped with gear differential units.

The “PRO” spec kit comes with plenty of Option Parts as standard equipment.
